사무엘하 24:14의 주석

I am in great anguish. The least of them is very difficult.

Let us fall into the hand of Adonoy. I.e. Pestilence²⁰Controlled exclusively by God. and not the sword nor famine because it [famine] is also controlled by the rich who have store houses of produce. Rabbi Alexandri said, Dovid reasoned, "If I choose the sword then [the people of] Yisroel will say [about me], 'he is relying on his strength to save himself from death but others will die', and if I choose famine they will say, He is relying on his wealth [to save himself]. I will choose pestilence against which everyone is equal."²¹Midrash Tehilim 17:4.
